What do we make of the politics of FFVII's Avalanche? What game design fundamentals does The Golden Saucer teach us? How will Ash and Kyle unpack the idiosyncrasies of play experience and narrative design against the backdrop of larger, political and material, conversations? All of this and more in... a review of 1985's House?
